Baird Television Associates was founded by Douglas Baird after working in staff positions for CTV and CBC here in Vancouver. We continue to work for them on an ongoing, freelance basis.

We supply experienced, freelance crews to a wide variety of local and international clients. Over the years, we’ve had the good fortune to work for ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, FOX, A&E, Discovery, National Geographic and many other broadcasters.

In 1994, shoots for the BBC and Channel 4 led us to purchase a PAL/625 Betacam camera, set up our sister company, PALCAM Canada, and begin to offer documentary production services in that format.

Over the years, we’ve expanded both our equipment list and our client base. For more information on these services, please visit PALCAM Canada.

If you're shooting a network documentary, a magazine piece, or a high-end corporate project, we will assemble the team and equipment that you’ll need to make your shoot a success.

We're fully equipped for documentary/EFP production.  Our specialty is single camera F-900 HDcam, Digibeta and Betacam production.  We often co-ordinate multi-camera shoots.

Whatever your project requires: HD, NTSC or PAL, SP or Digibeta…. 4:3 or widescreen ... we can make it happen!

2010 OLYMPIC GAMES - The IOC (International Olympic Committee) has chosen Vancouver / Whistler to host the 2010 Winter Olympic Games and Paralympic Games. We're already working on pre-Olympic projects. Hope to see you here!
